Chapter 149 Instantly Stiffened
Charles glanced at Snow with some surprise, not expecting her to actually help him out since she had such a low opinion of him, even though he didn't need it.
'What is she thinking?' Charles thought.
"Go in. Let me tell you, I'm helping you not because I think better of you, but because I misunderstood you that day. I'm apologizing, and this is me returning the favor. That's it!" Snow explained.
"You're returning a favor? It feels a bit unfair. I didn't actually need your help; you were meddling," Charles said bluntly.
'I think about making a phone call to clear things up, to make that arrogant Mr. Sullivan face reality.
'But unfortunately, my ambitions are crushed!
'And you actually think you helped me?
'Why are you so confident?' he thought.
"What?" Snow paused and she almost exploded with anger. She hadn't expected Charles to be such an ungrateful man. He was even worse than she imagined.
'I tried to help you get in and resolve your awkward situation.
'But you were not only ungrateful, and you even complained?
'So ungracious!
'How shameful, you're repaying my kindness with resentment,' she thought.
"Holy crap, who is that security guard? He's acting all high and mighty. A beautiful woman helped him out of kindness, and he's not grateful but complains she's meddling? I've never seen such a trashy man!" a socialite with a large chest said disdainfully, speaking loudly, without any reservation. She was clearly insulting Charles, and was absolutely sharp-tongued and sarcastic.
"I didn't want to say it earlier, but he's just a loser without an invitation trying to sneak into high society. Now that he's in, he's acting all high and mighty!"
"There are so many freeloaders these days. A man like that is disgusting. It's one thing to be incompetent, but to lack humility? You should work hard instead of trying to please wealthy women, right?"
"This year's charity gala is getting worse!"
"Disgusting, trash, get out of here!"
Charles had been stopped by the staff earlier for not having an invitation.
Many people had seen that and secretly disdained him
When Snow arrived, she had instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Snow, an ice-cold woman, had ignored everyone but acknowledged Charles, making people furious.
After entering the venue, they thought Charles, that loser, would keep a low profile and fawn over the ice-cold woman.
However, he acted like he owned the place.
They couldn't stand it anymore!
Wave after wave of ridicule came crashing down like a tide.
Their words were increasingly sharp.
'Is this the so-called etiquette of high society?' Charles thought, his expression suddenly turning cold.
When Alfonso saw the awkward situation, he almost burst out laughing and didn't forget to rub salt in the wound.
"Charles, I didn't want to say anything, but I understand that everyone has vanity. Actually, there's nothing wrong with working as a security guard at a five-star hotel or doing part-time jobs. You're earning money with your own hands. There's no shame in any job! But why do you have to pretend to be a guest at the party when you see your old classmates? Do you think we would look down on you? You don't need to feel inferior. Society is fair. As long as you work hard, one day you'll be able to enter Syeattel's upper circle. Look at Gary from Shark Live, isn't he the best example of this?" Alfonso said as he patted Charles on the shoulder, like a successful person lecturing a failure.
Charles was completely speechless as he thought.
Charles was completely speechless as he thought. 'You thought I felt inferior? What gives you the confidence to lecture me?'
"Mr. Sullivan definitely has a great family background and upbringing. If it were me, I would have cursed out such a lowly classmate long ago. Mr. Sullivan is patiently trying to advise him and show him respect. He's truly a gentleman!"
"Exactly, compared to Mr. Sullivan, how can this guy be so shameless? Which school is he from? I'll call their dean tomorrow. Don't they teach moral education to students nowadays?"
"Seems like he is from Lacus Magnus University!"
A group of so-called high society elites were pointing fingers at them and gossiping.
Charles had become the target of everyone's criticism.
They were smart, seemingly noticing that the second young master of the Sullivan Family wanted to mess with this young man.
In that case, a little cooperation wouldn't hurt, just so they could show some respect to the Sullivan Family.
Probably no one would be able to withstand humiliation like this.
A person's reputation was their social capital.
Today's blatant ridicule could make a young man unable to hold his head high for life!
Among the crowd, there were naturally some who recognized Charles. One of them, a rich second generation man, saw ultra-rich patron Mr. Smoke being ridiculed by a bunch of trash.
He was shocked!
"Alfonso, second son of the Sullivan Family, you're really something. You dare to mock Mr. Smoke? Are you tired of living? Even your brother might not dare to offend Mr. Smoke. What chance do you have? I need to call Gordon right away!"
The rich second generation man picked up his phone and called Gordon.
At this moment, Gordon had already put away his usual arrogant demeanor. He was dressed very properly today because he was representing the Cunningham family of Syeattel and Rivera Drake Real Estate at the charity gala.
Gordon had started to gradually take over the family business in recent months.
The older generation was also willing to give him power, intending to let Gordon gradually take charge.
In fact, he was quite capable.
Recently, he had befriended ultra-rich patron Mr. Smoke and had a good relationship with Emperor Dragon, a major shareholder of AromaVista Group.
On the surface, he seemed a bit cynical.
But in reality, he managed his connections very well.
In the circle of rich second generation people, he was known for his loyalty!
Many second generation people respected him, so some speculated that Gordon might be the next Tony, becoming one of Syeattel's prominent figures in the future.
Sure enough, before the charity gala even started, he ran into the legendary figure of the Sullivan Family, Tony.
The two of them had a heartfelt discussion on certain business topics.
Gordon was the one seeking advice.
Tony was a few years older and had unique insights in certain areas.
He gave Gordon some experience and inspiration for taking over his family group.
At this moment, Gordon's phone rang.
"Hello! Gordon, something big happened. Mr. Smoke has been ridiculed!"
"Who the hell would be so bold to ridicule Mr. Smoke? Holy crap!" Gordon asked angrily.
"It's Alfonso, the second son of the Sullivan Family!"
As soon as the voice on the phone came through, Tony's face instantly stiffened!
